Lyrics

Everybody’s Somebody Else’s Weirdo

Everybody’s somebody else’s weirdo
Everybody’s somebody else’s fool.
You may think you’re normal
Or at least somewhere in range,
But somebody somewhere thinks
You’re less than cool
That’s because you’re somebody else’s weirdo
That’s because you’re somebody else’s fool.

My old pal Amelia
Likes to wear medieval clothes
She likes to roam the streets at midnight
Quoting ancient poems and prose
She’s always throwing Chaucer and Milton and Shakespeare at me
And when I tell her she needs help
She says “What idiot begat thee?”:

Everybody’s Somebody Else’s Weirdo
Everybody’s somebody else’s fool.
You may think you’re normal
Or at least somewhere in range,
But somebody somewhere thinks
You’re less than cool
That’s because you’re somebody else’s weirdo
That’s because you’re somebody else’s fool.


And all your friends are saying
There’s no future between us
I’ll hurt your social standing
So you can’t run for office
Yeah they all think I’m crazy,
My friends think you are too!
Well that’s just their opinions
Love don’t care if we’re goofs!


Everybody’s Somebody Else’s Weirdo
Everybody’s somebody else’s fool.
You may think you’re normal
Or at least somewhere in range,
But somebody somewhere thinks
You’re really cool
That’s because you’re somebody else’s weirdo
That’s because you’re somebody else’s fool.
Come on darling you can be my weirdo
Come on baby I will be your fool!
